In 1976, I transferred from the army and was assigned to work in a supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperatives were the envy of everyone in that era, and the treatment was also very generous, and they also enjoyed a certain social status.

Compared with other comrades-in-arms who have changed jobs, my position is particularly stable, and my colleagues and friends around me are very envious of my life. But I always remember the old squad leader in the army who taught me: "The world is impermanent, and the brave wins." ”
The old squad leader always rises to the challenge and never flinchs. His spirit planted in me a firm belief that no matter how stable my life was, it could not stop me from taking on new challenges.
After some time, the county decided to transfer a few backbones from the supply and marketing cooperatives to support a newly established township enterprise. The conditions of this position are difficult, and the treatment is not as good as that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Colleagues scoffed at the transfer and politely declined. But I'm hesitating because it's an opportunity, an opportunity to prove myself and realize greater value.
At the time, I was standing in front of my house, my mind tossing and turning over and over whether to accept the transfer. Wang Wei, this friend who has been working with me in the supply and marketing cooperative.
patted me on the shoulder at the door and said, "Lao Li, don't be stupid, this township enterprise is not good for hard treatment, whoever goes is stupid." I smiled and responded, "It's good to be safe, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to be safe." ”
At the time, he was not impressed. My family was not very supportive of me going to this new position with a complicated environment, but the words of the old squad leader echoed in my ears: "The world is impermanent, and the brave wins." ”
I finally decided to accept the challenge and submitted a transfer request. On the first day of entering the township enterprise, I felt the hardships and uncertainties that I had never felt before.

There are no comfortable offices like the supply and marketing cooperatives, the factories are simple, the tools are outdated, and the employees are full of doubts about the future.
The sense of responsibility and fearlessness I brought with me from the military inspired me in this difficult environment, and I plunged headlong into my work. Every day, I work with my employees to study production processes, develop management plans, and even improve the tools myself to gradually improve the infrastructure of the plant.
Although the beginning was very difficult, I firmly believe that if you work hard, the results will change. In order to motivate the morale of the team, I organized a production skills competition.
Let employees show their skills in the competition, and help everyone master more advanced skills through training. Gradually, people are more confident in their work and the future of the company.
In business, I strive to find more customers, work with employees to improve product quality, and explore new ways of cooperation. The efforts of our team quickly paid off, and the production efficiency of the township enterprises improved significantly.
Orders are gradually increasing, and employees are more motivated than before. The superior leaders affirmed our efforts and gradually gave us more resources and financial support. From our humble beginnings, we have gradually developed into a benchmark in the local industry.
Once, when Wang Wei came to see me in a township enterprise and saw our brand-new factory building and orderly production line, he asked me in surprise: "Lao Li, your development here is very good, it seems that you have really found a good opportunity." ”
I responded with a smile: "Indeed, although the treatment here is not as good as that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, the potential is unlimited." "Deep down, I know it's not just luck, it's our team's hard work, innovation and bravery.

A few years passed, and I gradually rose from the junior staff to the management level, and was finally appointed as the general manager. Standing in my new post, I watched the once difficult township enterprises become modern factories that are now in good order.
I can't help but sigh at how difficult and tortuous this journey is, but how bright and hopeful. Wang Wei and other old colleagues of the supply and marketing cooperatives were envious when they heard about my achievements today.
And I just thought that I was fortunate enough to be able to combine the spirit of military service and hard work, and finally broke new ground.
In the days when he was promoted to general manager, the township enterprises were like being reborn, and their production efficiency was significantly improved. Our products have not only been recognized in the county, but also gradually sold to several surrounding areas, becoming a local benchmark industry.
Every time I hear the news of the increase in the number of orders, and every time I see the hard work of the workers in the factory, I am glad that I made the choice in the first place.
Behind the success comes greater pressure and responsibility. In the face of expectations from all sides, I need to not only continue to improve production efficiency, but also strengthen the confidence of my employees and ensure that the morale of the team is not shaken by the competition.
My team and I continue to work hard to innovate in business, optimize management, and win market recognition with more efficient processes and stricter quality standards. At the same time, I try to give my employees better treatment and benefits, so that they can work in a down-to-earth manner.
But things aren't always smooth sailing. In the early 90s, the wave of market economic reform swept across the country, and township enterprises were not immune.

Policies have eased intervention in enterprises, various private and joint ventures have sprung up, and competition has become more fierce than ever. In the face of this situation, our market share has been impacted, customers have been lost, and production and sales have fallen to the bottom.
At this point, employee confidence was severely affected, and some even began to wonder if we could continue. In the factory, I saw that the workers who had been full of fighting spirit became depressed, and some began to look for other ways out.
I understand that if we don't turn things around, we risk going out of business. With the spirit of rising to the challenge that I learned from the military, I stayed up all night with the management team to discuss countermeasures.
We decided to readjust the production line and develop new products to meet the new market demand. At the same time, we adopt diversified sales strategies, actively expand new sales channels, and strive to win every customer.
In order to motivate the morale of the team, I held several all-staff meetings to highlight our strengths and potential, and promised that if we all work together to overcome the difficulties, we will be able to make a comeback.
After several months of hard work, our strategy finally worked, new products began to open up the market, orders gradually picked up, and the company came back to life.
The confidence of the employees was rekindled, the motivation of the team increased day by day, and we gradually returned to the original production level and achieved steady growth again. Our performance was highly appreciated by our superiors and continued to provide policy support.

When we finally got out of the predicament, the factory was full of laughter, and I stood on the high platform of the factory and watched all this, and my heart was extremely emotional.
Through all the challenges and ups and downs, we have not only overcome the difficulties, but also come out stronger and more united. Today's township enterprises are not what they used to be, and I have realized my value in this transformation.
On the day of my retirement, I stood at the door of the factory, looking at the busy figure in the factory, and I was full of emotion. With the joint efforts of my team and me, the township enterprise has become a local benchmark.
Colleagues from the supply and marketing cooperatives came to congratulate me on my achievements, especially Wang Wei, who had lost his stable position in the reform of the supply and marketing cooperatives and now regretted his conservatism.
He held my hand and sighed: "Lao Li, you really had a unique vision back then, and you chose the right path." I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The world is impermanent, the brave wins." ”
This old class leader's teaching has always guided me and reminded me to be brave enough to make changes at a fork in the road in my life. Although I am retired, my heart is still full of ambition and courage.
Looking back on this road, the ups and downs have become a ladder to success. Those choices that once seemed difficult turned out to be worth every effort. When you move forward fearlessly, the journey of life will be written by you.
